They didn't start as a multi-billion dollar company. In fact, AWS started shipping their Elasticsearch Service in 2015. Public records show that Elastic's annual revenue in 12 months after their IPO in 2018 was ~200m with <1000 employees.

I'd argue that Elastic is a multi-billion dollar company _in spite_ of AWS.
